The new moon’s in lovely Libra (October 8, 10:46pm CST), which means a purging of stagnant dynamics occurs. Toxicity that’s been lurking under the surface gets a chance for release over the next month or so.
Venus’s retrograde in Scorpio, the sign of her fall, sparks a rebellion of the dark feminine. She’s busting out of constraints that have been imposed on her for too long. Socialized to be sweet, pretty, demure, and acquiescent, now her wily twin comes out of the woodwork! Defending the boundaries of women’s rights is a reaction to recent attempted transgressions against them, and this theme is part of the new moon. Betty Crocker is tearing off her apron, because she’s not baking cookies anymore!
Discomfort’s concocted in relationships, exposing sore spots that can’t be healed if we’re not aware of them. Once the hurts are revealed, we know which salve to put on them…
It’s a time to revisit past contacts we fell out with. Is a reunion of sorts in the making? The turning of the tides in the social realms is just what the doctor ordered, because it’s now fruitful for connection with others. Whom or what have we been carrying a torch for that we weren’t aware of before? Time to reignite that flame!
To help get your mojo working this new moon, consider Coventry Creation’s Truth and Justice candle. The Eye of Horus’ New Moon Oil is also an excellent aid to anyone starting a new path or undertaking new ventures. The Rosarium’s Sekhmet incense blend, which calls upon the energies of the fierce Egyptian war goddess, can also help fuel your fire during this time.
Full moon in feisty Aries (September 24, 2018, 9:52pm CST) faces off with sun in Libra. Restless edginess punctures the atmosphere. The instinct to sprint ahead impulsively at one’s own whim is tempered by considering others and reigned in as we are asked to acknowledge our limitations. Conflicting motivations push us into action!
A new moon in Virgo (September 9, 2018, 1:01pm CST) gives perspective about what details need to be organized and ordered so that a creative vision may come to fruition. Neptune in Pisces opposing the new moon makes it a slippery one. Feeling spacey and tapping into other realms? Etherealness counterbalances the urge to compartmentalize. As you set new moon intentions, let your imagination be limitless, for there is no end or beginning with Neptune.
